Omg too close, lol.

His face really exemplifies my impression of the entire Boomer generation.

They’re obsessed with chasing aesthetics of wealth (tanning their skin) but are also too arrogant to reconsider their values in light of all the new knowledge we’ve discovered (using sunscreen). So they just end up with avoidable consequences (extra wrinkly), pissed off, and don’t even know why or how so they just take their angry out on everyone else.

Oh I don’t doubt Alex Jones is still at it. I don’t follow closely at all to the conservative-sphere but they all absolutely incite stochastic terrorism.

And they all are quick to discard previous and current beliefs as if they never happened. It’s kind of crazy how efficient they all are at converging on the same new belief when the previous one becomes too indefensible.

Pm’ed you the site. I don’t want to draw more attention to it. I suspect the posting is highly curated anyway. It’s more of a bubble than r/conservative.

I sometimes visit the successor site of the_donald to see them erase their memories in real-time. They were 1000% sure it was a Dem black person yesterday. They even had insider info from police connections. Today it’s crickets and false flag.

(There’s always, always, without fail, accusations of false flags. From CIA, from FBI, from antifa, from George Soros, from Bill Gates. How do you even talk to people like this?)

Yeah, I know, and it’s sad (but not surprising) that it’s still true. I should read up about the larger context of that quote.

I personally believe with zero background knowledge that we’re just not evolved enough to have empathy beyond our physical sphere of influence. Like as an aggregate, unless we personal interact with another human, we seem to have no problem vilifying them. We seem to even be able to hate ppl who look exactly like us too, lol. Civil wars are so ridiculously common in history.

It’s like we tend to hate humans who look nothing like us or exactly like us, lol. Everything between that spectrum is acceptable.

The sad part is that even if the lives of these MAGAs get worse - worse than the lives of the immigrants they look down upon in their home country, they would likely still be racist.

There are pockets in rural America, an obscenely rich country, that are borderline third world country conditions, and they still vote Republican with a sense of superiority and extreme ignorance of their relative standard of living compared to rest of the world.

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if some of them were okay with trading electricity and sewage systems (return to 1700s) for racial and religious homogeny.

If these were answers for a high school test it would get a D or something for correctness. I can’t believe an adult, a journalist no less, could be so off.

The YouTube creator CGPGrey has a video that’s an easy to digest summary of power structures and the incentives throughout. It’s the answer to your question.

At this point it might just be.

Wut. Ofc they know it. They also know that their voters would never vote D either, no matter how bad things get for them.

The R senator of Kentucky has held a <20% approval rating but also his seat for decades. 9 out of 10 people in the state hate him with a passion and yet those same people vote for him again, and again, and again. It’s absurd, lool.

Yeah, we’re just less experienced and have fewer expectations when we’re young. We were much more impressionable then.

Guys in general are bad at portraying women, as I understand. That’s on top of being bad in general for Kojima, I think. There’s a funny interview with the MGS2 English translator Agness Kaku where she comments that the writing at times is high school fanfic level.

And she’s 100% justified. The older you get the more appearant it becomes that he’s bad at writing dialogue and story. He’s a tendency of using controvencies to create drama and it often falls flat, if not into eye-roll territory.

I could not stop cringing during Death Stranding. I had to fast forward the ending. I imagine Margaret Qualley being completely bewildered when they were capturing her character’s twin soul melding scene.

This is what I’m afraid of too. And it’s entirely within the realm of possibility, and likely too because he’s seemingly incapable of accepting public loses. He’s going to do something, anything in response.

Surprise! It’s proper history.

🤣

Nice.

I know, I know. It’s not a knock against the game or anyone who likes it. Maybe I’ll come back to it in the far future. There are almost too many games available at the moment so I’ll be ramming my flaccid dong against another wall until I love it.

This but with Cyberpunk for me.

I’ve tried W3 so many times but I just can’t get into it.
